Windows 10: My Defender Antivirus doesn`t start although i have no other antivirus program installed.

Hi there,

I`m new to microsoft community, and i need help. When i try to restart it, a dialog box opens with this written on it: the specified service does not exist as an installed service. This error is also present:

0x80070424 Error
I recently installed windows 10 pro, and today i restarted the computer, it started to update by itself when it finished, it said we couldn`t install updates. Before that, everything was perfectly fine before than. Plese help! And i need a way without installing windows again.



Thanks in advance,

Naayel

Defender AntiVirus

There are 4 options under Defender. Two refer to AntiVirus; AntiVirus Network Inspection Service & AntiVirus Services. Under Startup Type these two are listed as manual and the Status column said Inspection Service is running. When I clicked on the Start
button in Properties, I got an immediate message: "Win.. Def.. Anti.. Serv.. on local comp.. started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs."

need of antivirus

Yes. Every Windows version needs an Anti-Virus.

Windows 10 comes with in-built AV Windows Defender.

Whether you want to use Windows Defender or want to install another AV: that depends on your own preferences and habits.

No matter which AV you want to use, there might be situations in which you want to use other Anti-Malware programs for occasional, on-demand scans.
